There may be certain materials in your organization that have to be included in every presentation deck. For example, when every pitch deck has to include standard terms and conditions. This can be done by creating a 'Core Deck' which lives in a special 'Core Deck Folder'.
A ‘Core Deck’ is a special optional presentation containing slides that are always added to every new slide selection, email or download. It provides an extra mandatory slide (or slides) that is inserted automatically; typically to cover necessities like legal disclaimers, prescribing information, terms and conditions etc.
A Core Deck folder sits at the highest level in a Department and can have any name but is always surrounded by a tilde (~) character at front and back.
A Core Deck Folder is used to store a single 'Core Deck' presentation, the slides of which are automatically added to new presentations
There can be only one Core Deck folder per Department. Only Admins can create Core Deck folders, which can then contain only one single PowerPoint presentation, the 'Core Deck'. Core Deck folders should not contain any sub-folders.
To make a Core Deck Folder:
1) Select a Department in the Library for which you want to create a Core Deck Folder
2) Click the 'Core Folder' button...
NOTE: If you don't see this button it may be because you don't have the Ability to create Core Deck folders, or because a Core Deck folder has already been created for that Department.
A yellow 'Core Deck' folder now appears in that Department's Library...
Next upload a PowerPoint File to the new Core Deck Folder by dragging and dropping or by using the Upload button. This will contain the slides to be automatically added to all new presentations the moment any slide is selected, or the moment any file is downloaded or the moment any email is sent from Slidebank.
Using a Core Deck
Once a Core Deck folder is created and a Core Deck uploaded into it, dragging any normal slide into a new slide selection (bottom window) triggers the inclusion of any Core Deck slide(s). These are distinguished by the words 'Core Slide' shown at bottom-left...
Lastly, although the slides in a Core Deck are grouped together, the group is not locked, so its slides may be moved around (but not deleted) and normal slides may be dropped into the middle of the group.
